Skopje to Stockholm, Sweden

Just look at the long distance of this particular trip. Sweden is a long distance from Macedonia. I’m surprised that there would be enough traffic to justify this route.

The Stockholm Arlanda Airport in Sweden looks like this.

And the shape of their airport terminal building in Sweden is interesting.

I once upon a time traveled to Stockholm

Although it was many years earlier when I was university age. However, I traveled with a concert band. I was a trumpet player, and we were on tour; performed in as many Scandinavian cities as we could go to. I think we performed in Malmo. Nonetheless, I do remember the Swedish people were very Canadian in their way of living. Very similar social programs, taxation, education, jobs, and so on.

In the 1970s, men had long hair, in Canada and in Sweden. Scandinavians wore shoes that made them seem taller. That was something different than Canada that I remember.

Healthcare in Sweden

The healthcare system in Sweden is excellent. The population has publicly funded government run hospitals, which is different than the USA. I’ve met some really famous physicians from Sweden. One of them is Dr. Laszlo Tabar, who teaches and researches mammography and breast cancer. I’ve been to his teaching courses, a few times in my career.

Flying in to Sweden to attend training at his mammography institute (I can’t remember it’s exact name) is something that radiologists do, from time to time, but more often, Dr. Tabar runs courses in major cities, worldwide.
